I see nothing regarding non-free support for OxygenOffice here: http://ooop.wiki.sourceforge.net/ <quote> Houston, Houston we have a problem... First of all: DO NOT PANIC! We provide several ways to solve your problem. The zero level of support is our wiki, our documentations and any documentations related to OpenOffice.org like documentations page and support page of OpenOffice.org. First level of support are forums and mailling lists. Here you can ask for help or do open discussion about general topics. The second level of support is the tracker. You should file an issue here if you expect action from our side. You can post bugs, feature requests and support requests here. </quote> None of which cost anything. Do you have another source that points to non-free support from OxygenOffice? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
